Latest Arsenal news

A close friend of Alexandre Lacazette, Fekir has long been linked with a move to Arsenal - two years ago his father and agent stated a move to the Emirates was something that would consider.

But Lyon will be reluctant to let him go in January. Any deal is far more likely to take place next summer.

Leon Goretzka

Position: Midfield.

Current club: Schalke

What’s been said: “We feel that England, because of the amount of money you have with TV rights, young talented players like Leroy Sané and Leon Goretzka are moving to England and this is not good for our league but also for the quality of our game,” said Olivier Bierhoff.

Leon Goretzka celebrates scoring for Schalke.

Chances of a move? It's unlikely that Goretzka will move in January but he will be leaving Schalke in the summer when his contract expires, that is for sure.

Arsene Wenger is said to have an interest in the midfielder, but Arsenal would face some fierce competition for his signature.

Despite Bierhoff’s comments that the German international could be heading for the Premier League, a move to Bayern Munich or Barcelona is far more likely.

There are reports in Spain that Goretzka has in fact already agreed to join the Catalan giants.
